Thanks for the tip! I used a python script for cleaning duplicates - Red
Hat support recommended it (though as unsupported option) and it worked
OK. I will try yum-utils if this happens again.
Regards,
Daniel

Ouch :-(
Note, though, that yum-utils is now part of RHEL5, so you might want to
install that and use package-cleanup. Hints :
package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
package-cleanup --cleandupes
It'll save you time cleaning up the mess for sure ;-)
